Public Safety Events
New Citizen's Fire and Police Academy
The Citizens Fire and Police Academies (CFPA) have been combined into one class: The Euless Fire and Police Academy. The next class begins August 5. The fourteen-week class takes place from 7:00-10:00 p.m. on Thursdays with a graduation dinner on November 4. If you have burning questions like, "Why does a fire engine sometimes respond with an ambulance on a medical call?" or, "What is a sphygmomanometer?" If you are itching to know what "nystagmus" is or what the "psychophysiological detection of deception" is, then sign up for the Citizens Fire and Police Academy. You got questions? We got answers! Call 817-685-1600 or 817-685-1536 for an application.
Public Safety Open Houses
The Euless Police and Fire Departments will both host Open Houses from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 2. The Police Open House will be held at 1102 W. Euless Blvd., and the Fire Open House will be held at Fire Station #3, 202 S. Main St. Both events will have activities for children, tours of the facilities, and members of the Citizen's Emergency Response Team, Citizen's Fire Academy, Citizen's Police Academy and Citizens on Patrol. Plus, visit with clowns from the S.A.F.E.T.Y. Troop, along with Sprinkles, the police department's new safety clown. These events are free and everyone is invited!
National Night Out
The 27th Annual National Night Out, America's night out against crime, will be observed the evening of Tuesday, October 5 in Texas. Neighborhoods across Euless are sponsoring block parties, cookouts and visits from police and fire representatives. Over 35 million people in more than 11,000 communities across all fifty states participated last year. So, turn your porch light on, organize a block party and "fight back" against crime in your community. You can request a visit by representatives of the fire department at 817-685-1600 or a police representative at 817-685-1536. Firefighters from all three stations and the fire safety clowns will be out visiting various organized block parties around town.
Fire Prevention Week
Fire Prevention Week will be observed this year on October 3-9. The Euless Fire Department's S.A.F.E.T.Y. Troop will be presenting their annual fire safety program at the elementary schools throughout the city during Fire Prevention Week. Proclamations have been signed by U.S. Presidents every year since 1925 proclaiming the week in which October 9 falls as Fire Prevention Week.
